Recently, the Science Daily and the New York Daily News published articles on an American Chemical Society study that revealed some things that may come as a surprise.

So to you, fellow UTM students, I pose a question to those of you who drink.
Would you swap your favorite adult beverage for tequila if it would help your health?
From spending one too many nights at local bars here in Martin, I know that tequila is a thriving drink in this town. However, I highly doubt that any of those people are drinking it for their health.
I encourage you to read the articles. Do you think they have a legitimate point?
For those of you who don’t drink, would the idea of a healthier lifestyle get you to turn back the bottle?
It’s long been said that a glass of wine is good for the heart. Is tequila the new trick to a healthier life?
